    Agreed. Can't wait to kill a tranny hooker, hit some cones, then finish off the day with pie.

    I can only hope that someday a newbie asks Mr. Google about AutoX and something crazy like my previous post comes up first. Especially if his wife is watching over his shoulder as he's trying to convince her that it's OK to take his new Miata to an event.

    I've become so accustomed to Facepalm that I instinctively look for the "like" button on posts like the last couple.

    This course will be a collaborative effort. Andy and I are working up a new routing for that lot to start off the season!

    Since it is a combined PCA event we are going to force JJ to make the course. Lol.

    Actually, I believe it will be a supreme commander course this time.

    Are we sticking with the 200TW rule? I see several cars signed up in open class with under 200TW tires (myself included).

    Per ER facebook page:

    Equipe Rapide is now allowing 140 UTQG ratings in all classes. The T class is still available as an indexed class for the group who wants direct competition in a large class. Think of it as X for dummies. There will be no separate payout for T class and all classes will be eligible for Rapide PAX.

    So I can get a brand new set of RS3s in the version1 140tw flavor (closeout on TireRack) for ER and save my 200tw RS3 v2 for national events. That's...compelling.

    Anyways, I guess it will affect those who love their toyos. IMO, I think 140tw tires aren't *that* much faster than the cutting edge 200tw stuff. I think its definitely within the driver noise. Anyone agree/disagree?

    They have restamped the Toyos to 200TW. I am running the Federal 595 RS-R they were ½ the price of the Hankooks. I am hoping they work better in the cold than the RS-3s. On a warm day I don’t expect them to be any faster than the Hankooks, but that’s just a guess at this time. When it warms up I have a set of hankooks V2 to use up.

    I don't see much if any time difference between the 140TW and 200TW tires

    Edit

    According to the finger nail test the Federal’s are very soft, so they may not be any cheaper than the Hankook’s on a per run basis.

    Tested V2 kook vs fresh 140 r1rs last weekend. The kook in 195/15 is definitely slower but it may be setup related. Tire wants/needs way more front camber. We plan to turn the cams this weekend and test a different bar. Kook also has 3 personalities with respect to temp.
